lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as Mr Justice Stevens remarked only yesterday, it is not a good thing for the rule of law or democracy if judges intervene in the judicial process and rule out of account the votes for one side or another. That is exactly what has happened also in the Côte d'Ivoire, and in an even grosser way, as I understand it. We have seen an extremely unfair intervention in, and disruption of, a proper electoral process there. We in this Parliament must stand up for the rights of the people of Côte d'Ivoire – and everywhere else – to a fair and properly organised democratic system with a non-partisan judiciary. We are aware that in this case the European Union has some purchase through Article 96 of the Cotonou Partnership Agreement. We are, with this motion, urging the Commission to use that leverage, and we hope they will."@en1
